Abstract: The long-term thermal performance of passively-heated solar buildings is predicted by a single repetitive meteorological day which contains judiciously chosen solar radiation and ambient temperature ...

Abstract: The two-stage linear Fresnel reflector solar concentrator is analyzed via an in-depth study of an installed, nominally 220 KWt system. The concentrator includes: (1) a primary linear Fresnel ...

Abstract: A numerical model has been developed which describes the temperature distribution as a function of time within the storage elements of a Rotating Prism Solar Storage Wall. The model is tested ...
